Details about the specimen(s)

• Specimen count is not recorded.
• The record does not indicate whether reproduction was occurring.

Observation period was April-May 1988. This species "was seen just twice. The first time was at the beginning of April, the second in the middle of May. Bee-eaters are not common on reef islands so it seems possible that the observed individuals were just resting during their winter migration up to Cape York and New Guinea."
